If you’re in Paris in July/August there is a fun fair in the Tuileries gardens, which would be great for a nine year old. The gardens are very central and close to many other attractions such as the Louvre, so you could kill two or three birds with one stone!

Aix en Provence is a beautiful town. We saw them actually washing down their buildings to brighten them up. It was too expensive, though. We left after 1 night. Turns out they are the Beverly Hills of Provence. Went back to Avignon, which has its own charms.

Arles has an active bullfighting ring. There was a gory picture of a goring there recently, on Yahoo news.
